If ''Survivor'' appeals why not pre-empt it with an emotional, harrowing rollercoaster read hurtling from the streets of the slum ridden corrupt Seven Dials to Paris and New Orleans where fresh horrors await an innocent girl. Experience [[Belle by Lesley Pearse|Belle]] then follow her to mud logged rat plagued trenches in [[The Promise by Lesley Pearse|the Promise]]. If your passion is period driven drama full of love, loss, suffering and adventure you could also lose yourself in [[Gypsy by Lesley Pearse|Gypsy]]. For something totally different but still in the realms of historical fiction and about resourceful women try [[The True and Splendid History of the Harristown Sisters by Michelle Lovric]] set during the potato famine in Ireland or travel to 1942 Lubeck in [[After the Bombing by Clare Morrall]].
